Call 410-992-8680Steel or aluminum edging offers best long-term value—durable, effective, nearly invisible. Quality plastic edging works well for budget-conscious homeowners. Stone suits traditional homes. We recommend edging based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and maintenance expectations during free consultation.
Costs vary by material and linear footage. Plastic edging runs $3-5 per linear foot installed. Steel edging costs $8-12 per foot. Stone borders range $15-25 per foot. Most residential properties spend $400-1,200 for complete edging installation. We provide detailed estimates after measuring your beds.
DIY edging is possible but challenging. Proper installation requires correct depth, secure anchoring, consistent height, and smooth curves or straight lines. Poor installation results in shifting, heaving, or edging that fails within a season. Professional installation ensures lasting results and often costs less than DIY when factoring time and rental equipment.
Most residential edging projects complete in one day. Small properties with simple bed layouts may take just a few hours. Larger properties with extensive beds, complex curves, or stone installation may require 1-2 days. We provide time estimates during consultation based on your specific project scope.
